Geri Halliwell VS. Lady Gaga ......Who Made Who?!?

Watch each of the two videos carefully and then figure it out. It's outrageous!!! disbelief lol

And BTW, I think Geri's Look At Me was only a minor hit here in the USA. But I'm very aware that it was a massive hit in the UK. But this is the first time that I've ever seen the video. During a usual discussion about Gaga's using symbolism, Geri's video was brought to my attention. I was so stun that I had to to bring this up. Anyway, have fun figuring this one out. cool

They are both black and white. Both feature nuns. Other than that, the videos are not alike AT ALL. They don't have a similar concept, feel, anything. I doubt Gaga has even seen this video...

I don't know if this video got many spins on MTV but here in Canada Much Music played it a fair bit. In fact I dimly recall that they dedicated an hour long special to the "world premiere."

This video only got played twice here in the states. It was "here today gone tomorrow". lol So I doubt Gaga knew at all.

Isn't Tony more concerned with the fact that Geri is "obviously" part of the dark side too? I've always thought there was something devilish about her boxed lol

Even if Gaga has seen it (which I think she probably has considering she was a child of the Spice Girl era) i dont think she would have been directly inspired by it.

Here's a shocker: I'm not convince that any of The Spice Girls (as a group) were working directly with the dark side. But they were definitely being set-up at the height of "Spicemania" to be pawns of the game.

Now as individuals, I wonder about Geri & Mel B. These two have a little history when it comes to stories of infighting within the group for the leadership role. You know how easily it is for someone within the industry to play the "divide & conquer" card on people.

I was watching this entire French documentary about The Spice Girls' live debut in France. In this second part of the show, pay close attention with what Mel B is wearing and you tell me whether or not something doesn't look right:

You will see it within the 1:49-1:51 mark & again within the 3:22-3:55 mark.

Anyway back on topic... I still don't think Gaga knew much about this video considering it wasn't real popular here. It came one day and dropped the next. That's why the only other big thing Geri has done since then is rejoin the Spice Girls.

I was shock to find out recently that Geri sold more albums in her post-Spice Girls solo career than the other 4 girls. Mel C. (who is THE best vocalist of all of The Spice Girls) is 2nd place behind Geri.

That's because she was the only one who really grabbed people's attention so people overseas ate her shit up more than the others lol

Hmm, that is only slightly surprising to me. Geri and Melanie C were by a wide margin the two most successful. Victoria released one album, Melanie B. released two and Emma released three. Geri released three and Melanie C. released four. Geri has had four #1 singles in the UK (three from her first album and one on her second) while Melanie C. has only had two UK #1's (both on her first album). Oddly, Melanie's first album is the best selling of all the Spice Girls solo albums.

What is your source for the album sales figures?

It was the (in)famous custom made Union Jack short dress that put Geri over.

I admitted, Geri always had some freak in her. But I knew for sure Mel B had a lot more freak in her.

I don't have the sources myself. But the figures were brought to Geri's attention by Piers Morgan.

Cool. I do find it odd that Schizophonic had three number one hits and one number two hit yet it sold less than Northern Star which had two number one hits, two that hit number 4 and one just inside the top twenty.
